I get a small wobble when you take your hand off the bars and decel between 53 to 44 mph. Does seem a bit rougher than other tires I have run. I will try something else next, maybe the Michelins.

Why are you running such low PSI? Are you on the track?

It's balanced correctly?

Mine are balanced on the dealers spin balancer, I was thinking of pulling the front and checking the static balance myself.

I just put a new one on the front and the same prob, just a bit less pronounced, same MPH range, though.

I watched the tech at the dealer balance it, this time, and we visually checked the wheel for runout and true, and it looked real good.

Hmmm...I'll have to try that out this weekend and see if mine does the same thing. I haven't noticed anything before.
